According to Taiwan's Economic Daily, wafer leader TSMC held a shareholders' meeting today, and Chairman Zhang Zhongmou attended the meeting for the last time.
Zhang Zhongmou first pointed out to everyone that this is the last time he chaired the shareholders' meeting. He is very happy to see the company's miraculous growth in 31 years. Whether it is profitable or global importance, there are miraculous growth at all levels.
Zhang Zhongmou said: "We will officially retire after the shareholders' meeting, but we are also very happy and confident that the next board of directors will elect capable, capable and able to maintain TSMC's traditional value, and maintain TSMC's past adherence to value, integrity, integrity, commitment, innovation, and win customer trust. We believe that the new board of directors and new leaders can succeed smoothly and successfully. TSMC's miracle has never stopped. Just like what we shouted at the sports meeting, I love TSMC and create miracles again, miracles will be created again and again."
According to Taiwan's Zhongshi Electronic News , it was actually a coincidence that Zhang Zhongmou, known as the "godfather of Taiwan's semiconductors", would step into semiconductors at the beginning.
After graduating from a master's degree in mechanical engineering in MIT in the United States, Zhang Zhongmou originally wanted to work for Ford Motor in the United States, but Ford offered him a monthly salary of $479. Another semiconductor company, Sylvania, offered $480. He called Ford to seek an extra $1 salary, but Ford refused.
Zhang Zhongmou later switched to Texas Instruments Semiconductor, becoming the group's senior vice president and general manager of the semiconductor business group. However, because he was disagreeable with the senior management concept, he was transferred to a relatively marginalized department and found that he could no longer be promoted. Therefore, he resolutely returned to Taiwan to start his second spring in his career. He returned to Taiwan in 1985 to serve as the dean of the Institute of Industrial Research and Research and founded TSMC the next year.
According to Taiwan's "Central News Agency", Zhang Zhongmou confessed in a press conference announcing his retirement plan on October 2 last year, "If a person can live forever, I will continue to do it," expressing his reluctance to establishing TSMC.
After making quite good psychological preparations, Zhang Zhongmou decided to hand over the baton to the two general managers and co-executive directors Liu Deyin and Wei Zhejia.
After retirement, Zhang Zhongmou will no longer hold any position in TSMC and will leave the rest of his life to himself and his family. In addition to completing the autobiography, Zhang Zhongmou also has to travel and play bridge.
According to China Times Electronics, Zhang Zhongmou has been in charge of TSMC for 30 years, cultivated many senior management talents, and has been engaged in the technology industry, such as Cai Lixing, the current co-executive director of MediaTek , and Chen Junsheng, chairman of Acer .
When Zhang Zhongmou talked about Liang Mengsong, who was regarded as a "Taipei rebel general", Zeng Yu said with regret that he failed to keep people as he wished; he rarely said "very reluctantly" about Cai Lixing, who had no chance to take over TSMC, which showed that he loved talents and cherished talents.
